<form onsubmit="getsearchdata();">
lots of input boxes here
<input type="submit" name="submit" onsubmit="getsearchdata();">

In Opera, whenever someone presses the <enterbutton, the form is
submitted and the onsubmit does not event get any attention. When the
submit button is clicked, it obviously works.

May I know how can I actually let the user submit a form by punching the enter key instead of clicking on the submit button.
It works in the single textfield but it doesn't once we changed it to multiple lines textfields form element.
I am using the following script on a password form. When the user types in the correct password and clicks on the LOGIN button eveythings works like it should (index2.htm comes up). I would like it to do the same thing if the user presses the ENTER key after typing in the password. I am not a JAVASCRIPT Programmer. I found some examples and encorporated them below. When you type in the wrong password and hit ENTER, you get the proper alert message. however, when you type in the right password and hit ENTER, the screen just refreshes and stays with index.htm. I need to to display index2.htm in the same window. Any thoughts?

I have a user who wants his form submitted when he presses [Enter].
Is it possible? If so, how?
How do I make ENTER key act as a submit request?
As it is now, the user has to actually click "submit" for the form to
be submitted (in IE at least).
Is there any way to make the enter key submit the form? Code:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form, which has a textarea. Though I'm wanting it to be able to submit with the enter key. Can anyone help me? Everything I've tried either refreshes, or does a linebreak.
Heres the code to the whole page, seeing as the form takes up most of it.

$username = $x;

I have a form setup so that when you enter something in a text field and click a button it checks to see if the value entered in the text field is the "correct" letter and if its right it changes the CSS property of a div container to be shown which then has a link to a the next question. So I don't really have a submit button because my form isn't setup to work with one.only problem is when you enter a letter and click enter it acts as a submit and the submit does nothing, which is what it's suppose to do.So what I'm asking is how can I get that button to respond to an enter instead of the default submit taking over the enter key?

In my Web Form I have more than one Textbox for user input. If I hit
enter to any Textbox its submitting the form. How can I prevent Form
submission if users hit enter to the textbox? I want to submit the
form only when user will hit submit button.
I have a form that I built, and I replaced the submit button with an image.When you click the image, it calls the .submit() jQuery function and submits the form.Because I am not using the normal submit input button, hitting enter in most browsers won't submit the form.I think that users are used to this happening, so I would like to replicate this.Can I trigger the .submit() function when the enter button is hit?

I am new to JavaScript and was wonder how I would go about creating a form to allow the user to enter various words, one at a time. These words are added to an array and displayed in the page using the textarea form element. Each time a new word is entered, it is added to the array, and then the array is sorted in alphabetical order before the words in the array are displayed in the textarea, one per line. I have tried lots and lots of different methods to accomplish this, and I can get it half working when I use the alert function, but I need this to display on the page in a textarea rather than in an alert box, I tried to get it to write to the page using a document.write function, but like I said I am new to JavaScript and unfortunately cant get any of it working.

I am having trouble with a form submiting when the enter button is pressed in a text field causing it to submit.
Basically there is a text field and a button and when I click on the button it calls a function that does a a few things that need to happen before submiting. I submit the form in the function.
How can I prevent hitting enter on the text field submit the form. If I could do this then I could call a function onkeyup to check for the enter button being pressed and call the other function to submit the form.
I am trying to get a form to submit when the user hits enter. I am only using one input, a text box.
I have tried countless scripts to do this.... obviously it's not the scripts, it's me. If someone could point out what's wrong with my code, why its not submitting the form, please post! Thanks
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function submitForm() {
if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
document.form.submit();
}
}
</SCRIPT>
<form name="form" method="post" action="">
<input style="width: 454px;" type="text" name="new_message" onKeyPress="submitForm()">
<input style="width: 40px;" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>
That one was the most simple. I tried a few others too, some more complex.
Wondering if there's a better way than what I'm doing to disable that when a user presses Enter, the form is submitted.
I'm catching the enter key onkeydown events. And it works fine on input boxes but I noticed that if a user selects something on a drop down menu and presses the enter key, the form is also submitted. As far as I know drop downs don't have an onkeypress event.
Is there a way to cancel form submission when the Enter key is pressed? Or any ideas how to catch this event on a drop down?
Currently I have this web database app that I wrote in which I have a page with 3 tables. When I want to enter data into the table I currently select the table name from a drop down list and then have a javascript window open containing a form. The form is processed using php and oracle. The parent window which is the page containing the 3 tables then gets reloaded and, behold you can see a row contaiing the data underneath the choosen table. Have a picture in your mind of my setup?
Ok, what I would like is to try and eliminate the popup window. On each of the table headers I would like to have a button that when clicked, adds a row of input cells, say 6 for example . They should be able to have as many rows as they want. I would also like to add a submit button and a remove row button. And that is it.
From there I can handle the input of the multiple rows with php arrays and array splice to get the indexing I want. That is no problem. I have just never done anything dynamic and have very little javascript experience.
I have a form with several fields (field1, field2, filed3, fiel4, field5).
Whem some one fields the field3 and press "enter" I would like to move the cursor to field5.
How can I handle this?
